Philadelphia/Suburban Women’s Summer Basketball League Returns This Week

By Mel Greenberg @womhoopsguru

First a brief timeout from actually writing a news report for the first time since pre-surgery for the right hip replacement surgery.

 Visiting the doctor last week for the first time since the operation just before week 5 anniversary he said your Guru recovery doing well for the age and at this end would say pain level down to a 1-2 and making great progress with some physical therapy visits for this week and next to build strength.

That said, the summer league returns to Kelly Bolish Gym, home of the AAU Renegades, 2950 Turnpike Drive in Hatboro, Pa., Tuesday night and will continue regular play on an eight-game schedule for what will be nine teams through late July leading to the playoffs that conclude the first week in August.

Games will consist of doubleheaders on Courts 1 and 2, openers at 6:30 p.m. and nightcaps at 7:45 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Admission is free and there is a snack bar. 

Each team will have one bye night and since the live stream of the semifinals and final were well received last year we’ll see if Ari Bluestein can fit the games into his schedule.

Bob Heller will return here to provide game detail and this post sets up the format of coverage while longtime commissioner Dave Kessler distributes his own newsletter each night.

There will be a quick summary of the highlights, Bob will add detail of the four games. 

Since it is cleared under the NCAA rules, six D2 and D3 teams will dominate rosters and for coverage will be noted here with the other three also listed as Draft Teams 1-2-3. The Sun does have a nice showing but just short of our required count from D2-Kutztown to earn their own name. Likewise the merger of the former University of the Sciences with Saint Joseph’s has dissolved the undergrad team of the past and the grad players are much less a showing.

Three of the teams, Jefferson, Chestnut Hill, and Holy Family from the D2 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference return as does D2 West Chester and the D3 showing from Cabrini and Arcadia.

The scoreboard part of the report is set up below which will have standings, a running list of players who score 20 or more points, the recent results and the look ahead, in fact the entire season schedule is posted here, and then the tie-break tracker for seeds though early on there won’t be enough games for true positioning.

Finally all the rosters are appended for this report.

Opening night will be posted here by sunrise Wednesday.
